    kakasi = kakasi()
    kakasi.setMode("H","a") # default: Hiragana no conversion
    kakasi.setMode("K","a") # default: Katakana no conversion
    kakasi.setMode("J","a") # default: Japanese no conversion
    kakasi.setMode("r","Hepburn") # default: use Hepburn Roman table
    kakasi.setMode("C", True) # add space default: no Separator
    kakasi.setMode("c", False) # capitalize default: no Capitalize
    conv = kakasi.getConverter()
    result = conv.do(text)

    conv = wakati.getConverter()
    result = conv.do(text)

You can use output Mode values from "h", "k", "a" which is each means "Hiragana", "Katakana" and "Alphabet". For input, you can use "J" that means "Japanese" that is mixture of Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana. Also there is values of "H", "K" that means "Hiragana", and "Katakana".
